Driving systems
The most likely cause for a malfunctioning
system is a dirty sensor (located behind
the hood grill), especially at times of snow
and ice or heavy rain. In such a case, Dis-
tronic will switch off, and the message
DISTRONIC - CLEAN SENSOR! SEE OPERA-
TOR'S MAN. appears in the multifunction
display.
i
Offset driving
If the message DISTRONIC - CLEAN
SENSOR! SEE OPER. MANUAL disappears
during driving and the last speed stored
flashes for approximately five seconds,
the dirt (e.g. slush) has dissolved;
Distronic is again operational.
For cleaning and care of the Distronic sen-
sor, see “Cleaning the Distronic system
sensor” (୴ page 259).
Turns and bends
A vehicle traveling in your lane but offset
from your direct line of travel may not be
detected by Distronic. There will be insuffi-
cient distance to the vehicle ahead.
In turns or bends, Distronic may not detect
a moving vehicle in front, or it may detect
one too soon. This may cause your vehicle
to brake late or unexpectedly.
